Personality

Derek is a bit blank. He tries not to get close to people or show emotion due to his occupation. Being a reaper has taken it's toll on Derek, unfortunately. He is usually numb and unfeeling toward everyone, being quite formal. He speaks in the manner of old English, being that he's been around so long. However, if anyone gets past his shell, they will find an extremely caring man, surprisingly enough. He is a hopeless romantic, a man who still believes in chivalry and honoring a woman. He treats everyone with the utmost of respect, even when he himself is disrespected. The only real way to get him angry would be to harm the people that have managed to get close to him, otherwise, he remains calm.

Equipment

He has a scythe that he keeps somewhere with him, either in his car, home, or on his person.

History

Derek was created by the angel Ezekiel for one purpose, and one purpose only; to collect the souls of the dead. It is all he has ever known his entire life. He has moved all over the planet due to his job, though he tries to stay in one place for long periods of time. He currently presides in Clearwood. Few people have managed to get close to Derek, but some have actually managed to. But eventually they all died and he had to collect all of their souls. A terrible experience for him.

So begins...

Derek watched in amazement as the girl in front of him repaired the pot, in fact, made it and the plant it contained look much better. His mouth was agape as he watched her, forgetting all of his bladder needs. "Wait, wait. Who is your father? Was he a person of any sort of... noteriety in society? Someone important?" He asked somewhat excitedly, wondering if his thoughts could be true.

"Uhh, no I don't think so. His name was Ronald Flores. He wasn't well known nor considered majorly important except to the people who knew him well. Why?" Alica was confused and suspicious as she answered Derek's question. She stood still shocked at she did. Then she put the pot back where it had been waiting for something to happen.

Derek looked at Alica a bit, trying g to determine whether or not she was lying. When he figured that she wasn't he took a deep breath. "I think that you may be the missing daughter of the Earth God." He finally said to her. "Give me one moment, and I will be able to tell you for sure. You see, we reapers can look into the souls of living people. But it takes a great bit of skill and is very tiring, I myself can only do it once a month, if that. It is very physically draining for me,so do not be surprised if I stumble or fall." He said, and then closed his eyes, concentrating deeply. He then opened his eyes and peered I to Alica's eyes for a very long moment, concentrating as hard as he could. Finally, he burst through a mental wall and could see the wavelength of Alica's soul. It was as he suspected. Almost identical to the Earth God's. Derek was panting and sweating now, and his ability faltered and stopped as he swayed a bit, using the shelf near him for support. "You are.... his daughter...." Derek panted out.

Before Alica even fully realized what she had done, Derek was telling her that Ronald wasn't her father and she was some missing daughter of some god or whatever. Then without her permission and before she could even ask any questions or protest Derek was looking into her soul. She shivered when he saw her. She felt exposed and violated, and she hated that but the second it was over Derek panted that she was the missing daughter then almost fell over. As much as Alica wanted to lay into Derek for doing what he did without her okay he obviously needed help. "Come on." Alica said putting her arm under him and leading him down the hall toward her room, the only place in the house with a bed.
Well this might be a bit awkward. Alica thought as she lead him to her bedroom.
"I'll bring you breakfast and your drink in just a minute. Lay down and rest. That door is my bathroom so go ahead and use that if you need it." Alica said backing out of the room.

Derek allowed the young girl to escort him into her room, but he refused to lay on her bed. He was a gentleman, if nothing else. He simply found a rocking chair in the corner and sat in it, waiting for the girl to return to him. There were so many questions on his mind now, so many possibilities. Derek's mind was working fast despite the fatigue that had recently been placed on it. He would recuperate after a few hours, so he wasn't really worried about it.

Alica left before Derek got back out of her bed so she could get him his drink and something to eat. When she came back he looked like he had to decide his whole future in that exact moment. "I know you are trying to be a gentleman and all that but I'm not in my bed and there is no where else for you to sleep so get over yourself. Heres your food so eat up get some sleep then we can talk." Alica said and promptly left the room shutting the door on her way out. For a millisecond she leaned on the door so confused, then took off down the hall to the stairs that lead the roof. She had been thinking about what he had said. Her father wasn't her father, some earth god was. That wasn't possible. Her father was Ronald Flores. Not some god of the holy dirt or whatever. She wasnt some missing child. Derek had looked at her very soul, she didn't know what he had seen but she didn't like it. He had no right to do what he did, and she was gonna make sure he knew it. Then he was going to explain the blathering he had done earlier.

Derek had taken the food silently and picked at it a bit, eating a scant amount of bacon and drinking some of the liquid provided for him. He contemplated his new discovery of the missing daughter of the earth God. Could this mean that she were immortal, as he was? It's not something you can really check on, not for years when a face should be ageing and it isn't. But the possibility was there, and he felt a bud of hope spring up in him. A companion that would never leave his side, should that companion be protected properly? The thought threatened to opens floodgates in his mind, but he simply let it be. He still refused to sleep in the bed, so he reclined in the chair and nodded off to sleep.

•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•

When he awoke once again, it was already noon. Derek was quite refreshed from his little nap, and so he got up out of the chair. His neck was stiff and his back ached, but it was only minor. Nothing that would prevent him from moving. Derek picked up the tray of food and opened the bedroom door, then made his way to the kitchen. He didn't see the girl there, so he put the tray down and scraped the various plates, beginning to wash the dishes to occupy his time.

Alica heard Derek washing dishes and quickly and quietly scrambled over to her way back in the house. If he was well enough to wash dishes he was well enough to talk. If he didn't have answers she would just throw him out on his butt. She didn't need any crazies hanging around.
As Alica walked in she saw Derek standing there just washing, and she stopped. He really was handsome. Now that he had slept he had a shadow of hair on his jaw and his hair was a little messy, it made him look rugged and more masculine. In truth she thought he was sexy. Really sexy. A man washing dishes is the hottest thing I can think of?! Alica thought.
"So you're a wake." Alica said in an even tone.

When Derek heard Alica behind him, he turned his head and then put the last dish on the dish drainer. He then turned to face the girl in front of him. She didn't look too happy with him, and he couldn't really see why. He ducked his head in a slight bow to her. "Yes, I am. There is something you'd like to speak of, am I correct?" He looked back up into her eyes, and he was contrite instantly over any crimes he may have committed against this girl. He didn't know how to make her anger with him disappear though, so he simply lowered his eyes ashamedly.

Derek could see she wasn't happy with him. He regained his composure, throwing all his walls right back up. If she couldn't learn to trust him, then there would be no future friendship between them. "You may have been adopted by a mortal family to keep you safe. But you are the daughter of the earth God. The abilities you have for improving plant life and manipulating the pot was an indicator. That is why I looked into your soul." He paused, remembering how her soul looked. It was so pure... but held such power. Derek shook the thought from his mind. "I apologize, though you probably won't accept it. And you can choose to accept what I've told you, or you can reject it and go on with your mundane life." Derek took a step back from her. "But I will not hinder you with my existance any longer. It is probably best that I move on from this part of the world and move to another country, anyways." Derek moved past Alica, avoiding her so he wouldn't bump into her, and walked out of her door.

"Don't you dare walk out that door Derek Reaper!" Alica yelled after him.
He was right she wasn't ready to accept his apology but she wasn't done trying to find what he was talking about. Her ability to improve plant life and manipulating the pot? What was that? So she had a bit of a green thumb. What did that have to do with her parents? So perhaps her parents weren't her real parents, perhaps this earth god was her father, but just for Derek's sanity's sake, who was her mother? After all it takes two right?
Did he really think he could just give her some rude and curt answer then walk out her door like everything was well and good? What was wrong with this man?! Alica was ready to follow him and drag answers out of him if she had to. She did not like the way things were going, this constant trust and distrust. It was like a love hate relationship and they hadn't even known eachother for a full twenty-four hours. Everything was making her head spin and her blood was pounding in her ears. She half wondered if Derek could hear her heart beating as he walked out.
She slumped against the wall and sank to the floor holding her head in her hands. She didn't know what was happening but it was painful! "Ahhh!" Alica cried out in pain. It felt like she was being torn apart from the inside out.

Derek was just about to shut the door behind him when he heard the cry of pain coming from Alica. He kept his walls up, but rushed back to her, still not trusting someone who was so angry with him, with his feelings. "You are in pain?" He asked her, slightly concerned.

"No, I'm jus-Ahhhh!" Alica screamed falling on her side. Her insides were on FIRE! She could hardly breathe, her head felt like it was about to split open and her vision was blurry and fading in and out whenever she managed to open her eyes.

Derek sat on the ground next to her, pulling her into his lap. He needed to find out what was wrong, he needed to ease her pain. "You must tell me what it is that is wrong. I cannot help you unless I know what is wrong." Derek gently brushes her hair out of her face, feeling her forehead to see if she had a temperature. He was not familiar with human ailments.

Derek pulled her into his lap and started talking to her, she wasn't quite sure what he was saying but she thought that the just of it was that he wanted her to tell him what was wrong. If she had know she would have told him. "I don't know-aaah" Alica moaned. She wasn't in as much pain now but she ached all over. It took her a moment. To realize that her pain had eased when Derek held her. "Get off." Alica managed weakly. If she was right the second he stopped touching her the pain would come back.

When told to release the young girl, Derek immediately complied. He gently placed the young girl on the ground and stood up next to her. "If you still wish me to leave, I will go." He said simply.

Alica had been right, once Derek moved away from her she hurt again. But this time it was much worse. "No, I- Alica gasped. It was hard to breathe and her vision was fading again. "Top shelf, my-Ahh-bathroom." Alica managed before she passed out.

Derek immediately ran to the bathroom and opened the medicine cabinet. In it, he found a strange bottle with an slider of some sort in it. He looked it over to be sure that it wasn't marked as dangerous, even smelled it for any toxic fumes, and then went back to Alica in the hall. She had passed out on the floor. Derek dropped to his knees and opened the bottle, then put her head on his lap. He opened her mouth, tipped her head back, and slowly let the fluid trickle into her mouth and down her throat, making sure she wouldn't choke.

Alica suddenly woke up and was able to breathe and see normally again. She knew what Derek had been telling her was true.
A man years ago when she was very little had been waiting for her in her childhood garden and told her that she would know when to drink the potion in a bottle he gave her. Then he had told her never to speak of him to anyone except the man who found her identity, and with those last words he had faded into earthy colors and dissapeared into the dirt. She had never spoken of the man but she had kept the bottle. She realized the man had been the earth god, her father. She hoped she drank the potion at the right time. Then it hit her. "
The man who found my identity. It's you!" Alica exclaimed looking at Derek. And with her realization she knew her life was going to change completely and that her past wasn't what she had always known it to be. She leaned into Derek and rested her head on his shoulder trying her best not to sob, though she was doing a bad job of it.

Derek was a bit uncomfortable. He wasn't used to... comforting people. They never usually came to him for solace. So he was a bit lost as to what to do now with the girl who was so obviously holding back tears and resting on his shoulder. He tentatively patted her shoulder, fairly uncomfortable with contact as of right now. He wasn't used to it. It was quite strange. "I did tell you your true identity, yes." He said in reply to what Alica said. "Now please, calm down a bit. Try to remember that the love your mortal parents had for you wasn't a lie. Nothing excepts your true father and your mortality was a lie." He didn't know if these words would help, but he hoped they did.
